    I have RTS as well. Didn’t realize they gave fuel discounts or offered a fuel card. Is it decent?

    I have Fleet One through OOIDA and it’s great however I have small tanks and find myself and Pilots or Loves (as they are many more of them) more often than not and I don’t get any discount with them just Speedway, TA etc. I spoke with Pilot and he offered me .18 off the cash price with one of their cards.

    RTS is no good to me. I used to use it. I'm getting a LOT better with TCS. I compare prices on both pretty often. However, Siinman may have a better deal worked out. They aren't all the same I've learned. I just basically gave up with RTS after I found TCS.

    I try to stay away from the northeast. I might have to start running out there. I don’t get have NYhut. Keeps me from even considering it. Having been in Allentown this week, I can say there’s no shortage of Freight. I’m surprised the volume is so high. Rates aren’t any different than other places, crappy Lol. Still not the same as the past. Used to be nothing headed west/south paying at all. Don’t know what or why, just an observation. 700-800 loads posted within 100 miles of Philly. 3-4 x the volume of some Midwest and southern markets. I understand the populations denser, still seems to be a lot of freight, compared to thd past,
